"He said it, but I don't believe it." Shinozuka Yoshio said with a dark face, "I don't believe that a talented student trained by the Imperial Army University, a major in the Imperial Japanese Army, would pay for a mere few thousand yen. Just sell the information!"

"Hehe, just a few thousand yen?" Yoshio Oshima smiled and said, "In the eyes of Your Excellency the Commander, two thousand yen is just a mere mere thousand yen, but in my eyes, it is the amount I spent nearly two years salary."

"Baga!" Shinozuka Yoshio said angrily, "For two years' salary, you betrayed the empire?"

"Betray the empire?" Yoshio Oshima suddenly became excited and hissed, "I was enlisted in the army at the age of 17, and for more than 20 years, I sacrificed my life to fight for the empire, bleeding and wounding many times. But what about the empire? Has the empire ever treated me better than me?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why didn't the empire treat you kindly? The empire gave you a monthly salary of 220 yen, which isn't good enough? You need to know that the monthly salary of domestic workers is only 20 yuan!"

"220 yen? It's really a lot." Yoshio Oshima smiled and said, "Have you ever paid out the full amount?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was suffocated when he heard this. Due to the continuous expansion of the Sino-Japanese war and financial constraints, the soldiers' salaries were only paid in half from the year before last.

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "Even if only half salary is paid, it is enough for you to live comfortably, right?"

"Hehe, yes, 110 yen is indeed enough for me to live comfortably. Occasionally, I can even ask three or five colleagues to have a drink at Yoshino's house." Yoshio Oshima laughed, and then said sadly, "But I What about my family? Commander, do you know? Before my wife committed suicide, she wrote a farewell letter, saying that my father died of starvation, and that my eldest daughter was taken away as a comfort woman. His wife and daughter have been separated, "

"Only the old mother and two young children are left waiting to be fed!"

"Why is this?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked in astonishment.

"Why is this?" Yoshio Oshima said sadly, "Your Excellency, Commander, lives in a city. Of course, this is not the case in a big city, but if you go to the countryside and the countryside, you can see a completely different scene. In the countryside, Already starved and killed everywhere, the people are in dire straits, hunger is enough, but the empire still wants to arrest my daughter!"

"How did this empire treat me kindly? The empire refused to treat me kindly,"

"Then I will treat myself kindly. Selling information can bring me a lot of income."

"Can improve my family's life, why wouldn't I do it? Why not?"

Yoshio Shinozuka closed his eyes in pain, he believed that what Yoshio Oshima said was true.

There is no need for Oshima Yoshio to make up such a story to deceive him, and he has also heard that the domestic situation is really bad, and starving to death in rural areas is very common.

It is not just the Chinese who are suffering in this war.

In fact, the common people in Japan also suffered in the war.

But this is by no means a reason to betray the empire and sell secrets.

Immediately, Shinozuka Yoshio got up and walked out, while ordering: "Send him back to the country, and hand him over to a military court for trial and conviction."

In fact, Yoshio Shinozuka had every right to execute Oshima Yoshio to death, but he didn't want to do it, or he couldn't bear to do it, he couldn't bear to order the execution of his subordinates himself.

Yoshio Oshima was quickly taken away.

Shinozuka Yoshio asked Shimizu Ichiro again: "Shimizu-kun, who is he connecting with?"

"Nong's sledgehammer in the kitchen." Shimizu Ichiro said in a deep voice, "I bought information about the Yamazaki Battalion and the 9th Brigade from Oshima-kun twice before and after. The price was 800 yen last time and 2000 yen this time. "

"He also leaked the information of the Yamazaki Brigade?" Yoshio Shinozuka said angrily, "Damn it."

Shimizu Ichiro said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I intend to instigate against Nong Sledgehammer and provide false information to the Eighth Route Army."

Shinozuka Yoshio immediately stopped when he heard this, because this proposal of Ichiro Shimizu fits perfectly with the No. A battle plan he is planning, and if it is used well, it will undoubtedly have a miraculous effect.

As the saying goes, where you fall, you will get up.

This time the 1st Army suffered a big loss at the intelligence level, so in the next sweeping operation, the 1st Army must give the Eighth Route Army a counter lore from the intelligence level!

At that moment Shinozuka Yoshio said: "You make a complete plan and give it to me when I come back from Beiping."

"Hai!" Shimizu Ichiro paused suddenly, turned around and went excitedly, this time he defeated Oshima Yoshio, their special advanced class finally overwhelmed the intelligence class, and he, Seiichiro, could finally show his skills.

Watching Shimizu Ichiro leave, Shinozuka Yoshio also ordered the adjutant: "Prepare the car!"

Next, Yoshio Shinozuka will fly to Beiping to plead guilty to Neiji Okamura.

At the same time, he persuaded Neiji Okamura to implement his No. A combat plan on the Shanxi battlefield.

……

Daxia Bay, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Ye is taking Chen Mingli and Ma Yuan to do war games on the sand table, and it seems that the result has been reached.

It's just that Chen Mingli and Ma Yuan were a little skeptical about the result, and they both had expressions of disbelief.

The deputy chief of staff walked in and saw the expressions of Chen Mingli and the two, and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"Chief, there's nothing wrong with it." Wang Ye said with a smile, "Officer Chen and Staff Ma have toothaches, and they probably got angry."

"Go, you're just getting angry." Chen Mingli replied angrily, then turned to the deputy chief of staff and said, "Chief of staff, we just conducted a war game and found that even if we faced more than [-] Japanese troops, The encirclement and suppression can also be done without dividing troops, because mobile columns are fully capable of penetrating the Japanese blockade."

"Oh, really?" The deputy chief of staff became interested.

When encountering heavy raids by the devils, they will be broken up into pieces and break through separately. This is a consistent policy.

Since the division of troops at the beginning of 38, what their Eighth Route Army has implemented is this guideline.

But the reason why the Eighth Route Army implemented this policy was not because of how good this policy was, but out of helplessness.

Because the shortcomings of splitting into parts and breaking through separately are obvious, this will make the combat effectiveness of the troops weak, and even if they encounter a small group of devils, they will face great danger.

However, it is more dangerous to concentrate the troops to break through.

Once bitten by the main force of the Japanese army, it is likely that the entire army will be wiped out!

Therefore, choosing the lesser of two evils, the Eighth Route Army finally chose to break up into parts and break through separately.

If they broke through separately, even if half of the small troops were wiped out by the devils, at least half of the small troops could be kept, so half of the fire seeds would be kept.

Given time, these fires can reignite into a prairie fire.

In a word, at least at this stage, the strength of the Eighth Route Army is still weak compared to the Japanese Army, and it does not have the strength to confront directly, so it can only divide its forces.

But now, Wang Ye's war game deduction has given different results.

So the deputy chief of staff immediately became interested. If the mobile column can really penetrate the blockade of the little devils, it will undoubtedly be excellent, and they will be able to keep all the fire!

Facing the question from the deputy chief of staff, Wang Ye said, "Yes!"

"As long as the devils mobilize no more than 5 troops,"

"The mobile column has the ability to penetrate the devil's blockade in any direction."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye explained the setting of the war game to the deputy chief of staff: "Look, chief, we assume that the Japanese army will invest 5 troops in the sweep, which is about 7 brigades."

"If there is no accident, four of the brigades must be used for peripheral blockade."

"The remaining 3 brigades are used to carry out sweeping raids on my base area."

"In view of this, the mobile column needs to face only one brigade in a certain period of time."

"Since it is a blockade, it is impossible for the brigade of the Japanese army to concentrate its forces at a certain point, but must be distributed in a range with a frontal width of more than [-] kilometers."

The deputy chief of staff looked at the sand table.

I saw that the edge of the sand table is a scale, so it is easy to see that the area of ​​the Taihang base is definitely more than [-] kilometers in radius, so Wang Ye's estimate is actually quite conservative.

In fact, the width of the Japanese army's blockade was far more than [-] kilometers.

Wang Ye went on to say: "One hundred kilometers, if there is no accident, the Japanese army will definitely adopt a dichotomous method, that is, half of the troops will be stationed at the most central location as mobile troops, and the other half will be deployed scattered on the blockade. In order to completely prevent the breakout of our troops in the Taihang Military Region.”

"Then that is to say, within a certain period of time,"

"There is only one infantry regiment that my mobile column needs to face."

The deputy chief of staff nodded slightly. Until now, Wang Ye's analysis was still very reliable.

Wang Ye added: "If an infantry regiment of the Japanese army is allowed to repair the fortifications, and then our mobile column will attack, then with all due respect, we may not be able to take it within three days!"

"However, if we just break through a certain point and force the infantry unit of the Japanese army to come to plug the gap, and then engage in an encounter, the result will be completely different. In at most two hours, our mobile column will be able to rely on the absolute superiority of firepower to defeat the enemy. This infantry regiment came to plug the gap, and then continued to tear the Japanese blockade to the two wings, opening a huge gap for the headquarters and the main force of the military region to break through!"

"Two hours is enough?"

The deputy chief of staff asked, "Is it really possible?"

If the mobile column can really open the gap within two hours, there is no doubt that the little devils fighting in other directions will have no time to react. Enter the Taiyue Military Region or other bases to continue fighting.

Wang Ye greeted Chen Mingli and Ma Yuan and said, "Chen Staff Officer, Ma Staff Officer, come on, let's do another deduction and let the chief see how our mobile column defeated a Japanese regiment within two hours?"

Chen Mingli said: "Then this time, Lao Ma and I will command the Eighth Route Army, and you will command the devils."

Wang Ye smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let the two of you return to the Eighth Route Army."

Chen Mingli and Ma Yuan excitedly played chess.

……

It was already evening when Shinozuka Yoshio arrived at Beiping Nanyuan Airport by transport plane.

Before landing, Yoshio Shinozuka looked out through the porthole, and saw that the runway of the airport was empty, without even a shadow of a ghost. Obviously, Neiji Okamura did not send someone to the airport to pick him up.

Seeing this, Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Obviously, Neiji Okamura was very disappointed with his performance.

But Yoshio Shinozuka also knew that Okamura Neiji couldn't be blamed for this.

No matter who sits in Neiji Okamura's position, he will be disappointed with his performance.

Such a good opportunity to showcase special operations turned into such a disastrous failure in the end. Okamura Neiji did not call the Army Headquarters and asked to replace him as the commander of the 1st Army. It is already very good.

In view of this, Yoshio Shinozuka was even prepared not to see Neiji Okamura.

But after the plane landed, Yoshio Shinozuka realized that he still underestimated Neiji Okamura's mind, and Neiji Okamura finally sent his deputy chief of staff Michiichi Miyano to the airport to meet him.

"Xiaozuka-kun, you have worked hard all the way." Miyano Michiichi saluted.

"I'm ashamed." Shinozuka Yoshio returned the military salute and said again, "I'm sorry for the trouble, Miyano-kun."

After getting into the car, Miyano Michiichi asked again: "Xiaozuka-kun, have you investigated the cause of the incident clearly?"

"Yes, the investigation has been clear." Yoshio Shinozuka paused slightly and said, "Yoshio Oshima, the Intelligence Section, was resentful due to family changes, and secretly sold the information to the Eighth Route Army."

"Nani?" Miyano Michiichi said in astonishment, "There is such a thing?"

Shinozuka Yoshio said helplessly: "No one would have thought that such a thing would happen."

Miyano Michiichi sighed, and said again: "Xiaozuka-kun, although there are reasons for the accident of the field observation group and the collective jade fragments of the 9th Brigade, you still don't want to mention the special warfare method that Yamamoto-kun admires."

"This..." Shinozuka Yoshio felt a little embarrassed when he heard that, that's why he came here.

"What?" Miyano Michi immediately collapsed, "Xiaozuka-kun still refuses to give up?"

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Although the beheading operation planned by Yamamoto-kun failed, it doesn't mean that his special tactics also failed."

"I still think special warfare is a good strategy."

"It is worth the front army's efforts to promote it throughout North China."

"I also firmly believe that this method of warfare will bring fruitful results to the North China Front Army."

Speaking of this meal, Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "Of course, Yamamoto-kun's special warfare method also has many inappropriate points. It is necessary to revise it, but it must not be swallowed!"

Miyano Michiichi stared at Yoshio Shinozuka for a long time without speaking.

After a long while, Miyano Michiichi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaozuka-kun, please take care of yourself."

"Thank you Miyano-kun for your reminder." Shinozuka Yoshio paused slightly, and said again, "No matter what the result of this trip is, no matter whether the No. A battle plan is finally adopted by Your Excellency the General, I am grateful to you."

Chapter 176 War Game Deduction

"Operation Plan A?"

Neiji Okamura just glanced at the plan handed over by Yoshio Shinozuka, and then put it on the large table without any intention of opening the plan to take a look.

Yoshio Shinozuka's expression dimmed immediately.

Sure enough, Your Excellency the General still can't let go of this failure.

Neiji Okamura rubbed the space between his brows, and said wearily, "Mr. Shinozuka, can I hear your tactical idea first?"

"Hayi." Shinozuka Yoshio paused slightly, and said again, "Your Excellency, the sequence of the Yamazaki Battalion, the 4th Brigade, the Field Observation Group, and the 9th Brigade is enough to prove one thing."

"That's the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area. It's really extraordinary."

"If you still use the original tactics, you can only let them continue to sit big."

"Therefore, the imperial army must mobilize heavy troops to block the periphery of the Taihang bandit area first, so that they cannot break through."

"Then, gather 15 to 20 infantry brigades, form a network, and conduct a dragnet search of the Taihang bandit area. Once the main force of the Eighth Route Army is found, quickly concentrate its forces to completely destroy it."

Okamura Ningji said: "15 to 20 infantry brigades, is that enough?"

"It should be enough," Shinozuka Yoshio replied, "Take Yamazaki Battalion as an example. On the premise of building a good fortification in advance, even if it is surrounded by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, it is enough to last for half a day."
